First, Saiful... then Najib...next, you can swear on the Bible, Taurat and Zabur...

First, Saiful did it. He set the precedent. Then, it was Najib who swore in Masjid Jamek Guar Perahu in Permatang Pauh, Penang yesterday.

Saiful took the swear on the holy al-Quran at Masjid Jalan Duta to defend his accusation of being sodomised by Anwar Ibrahim.

Najib (minus the al-Quran) did it to defend his statement that he did not know or had any connection with Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaaribuu who was murdered in 2006 in Puncak Alam, Selangor.

The Deputy Prime Minister said he was making the swearing although it was not an offical swearing made on the Quran."Wallahi, Wabillahi, Watallahi (With Allah as my witness) I swear I do not know or have any connection with the Mongolian woman," he said at the end of his speech at a ceremony to give aid of RM1.4 million at the mosque.

"I do not know if others want to swear or not but I know I did no wrong. This is between me and God," he said.

Najib also made the same swearing by repeating the same words when he visited the Barisan Nasional (BN) operations room in Guar Perahu.

Also yesterday, Umno deputy youth head Khairy Jamaludin put up a challenge to Anwar Ibrahim to make a similar swear if he dares, as to defend himself from the accusation of sodomising Saiful.

Who’s next to take a swear on the al-Quran? It could be a new way in Malaysia should anybody wants to defend his or her name from any accusation of wrongdoings.

Sooner or later, the Malaysian courts will have to take into consideration such swears, and sooner or later, the non-Muslim will take a swear on the Bible, Taurat, Zabur or any other holy books.

you are DAMN right, bro. let everybody swear by their respective holy books in defense of themselves. sooner or later, our kids will follow suit. if they do, we cannot punish them if they commit anything wrong!

after this, anybody would feel free to commit any sort of wrongdoings. if you feel like raping and underage, go ahead, then go to the mosque to deny it. if you feel like robbing a bank, go ahead, shoot the guard and the clients before feeling with a few million ringgit, then go the the mosque or church to declare how innocent you are. if you feel like killing you parents, by all mean, go ahead, then find any holy books and take your swear of innocent.
